In 1989, Truman took his brand of seedy, intricately textured, character-driven science fiction / adventure to DC for Hawkworld, for which he received the 1991 European Haxtur Award for "Best Miniseries". Both titles embodied a number of qualities that Truman has successfully blended and explored throughout his career - elements of pulp fiction, science fiction, and blue-collar social commentary. In 1985, Truman continued his tear through the indy comics scene as both artist and writer of Scout, the near-future saga set against the background of a ravaged United States. One of those early contributions, Grimjack (co-created with writer John Ostrander), was on the leading edge of a wave of "grim and gritty" comics that subsequently swept through all of American comics. Truman was to play a key role in developing the independent comics movement of the 1980's. Throughout his 20+ year professional career, Truman has been one of the few artists to make formative contributions to both mainstream and independent comic book scenes. Timothy Truman has become one of its most original artistic storytellers and stylists in the American comic book industry.
He has also done a lot of work for friends of the band, including Hot Tuna, Santana, Robert Hunter, and Jim Lauderdale.
Timothy is well known for the CD covers, concert posters, comic art projects, and T-shirt designs for the Grateful Dead.
